Embassy requesting I-864EZ before interview
Mpowie replied to Mary Bernard's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
Hi Mary, did you submit an I-864EZ during the NVC stage? And was it accepted? We filled up the I-864EZ as well but just uploaded an updated one on additional docs because there are some changes. Interview's on Monday too March 6 -
Upload new documents to CEAC or update DS-260
Mpowie replied to Mary Bernard's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
Hi Mary I'm in the same boat. I've requested for them to reopen it via support@ustraveldocs several times but they still havent done anything about it -
Hi guys, we've finally gotten our interview date! Some questions: 1. Petitioner has switched jobs - should we update the I864/AOS? 2. I've moved houses - should we update the DS260? 3. My NBI is still valid (expired June 2023) but the address is still my old one. Is that ok? Thank you!

Thanks so much for this info! We just called and they agreed to escalate it, but said it was up to the discretion of the embassy. Not so hopeful but at least something is happening. Hope we get the same results as you. They sent us an email receipt. Did you get an email after the escalation was "approved"? Or you were just suddenly able to book on CGI?
-
Oh wow, congrats! I've called 4 times and got the same standard response of "wait for the interview letter then we can escalate." They'd stop me before I even get to making the request. Are any of these the number that you called? (+632) 8548-8223 or (+632) 7792-8988 How long did it take for them to resolve the issue after your call at Feb 6?

Hello, I backread the whole 20 pages of this thread lol. Just got DQd Nov 3 2022. If the ceac status says 'READY,' can we also just book it via cgi? Or is that only for expedited cases? What happens if I try to book an appointment even without an approved expedite request? We're CR1 and there are plenty of slots open. I can see the earliest date available on the left hand side of the page. We've sent an expedite request, got acknowledgment, but no response yet. Thank you!!

Hi guys, I got DQ Nov 3. I got advice that the Manila Embassy is willing to expedite so we've sent an email today. My questions 1 - if in the occasion that we don't get expedite approval (or if they take a while to respond), how long will it take before I get an interview? Any recent cases? 2 - I keep seeing that once the case is 'READY' on CEAC, you can book your own interview on ustraveldocs/CGI. Is this just for expedited cases or for everyone whose case is READY? Thank you

September 2021 I-130 filers
Mpowie replied to aerodnight's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports
When was your last submission? -
Unfortunately got a review note 2 days ago to resubmit my birth certificate. I just replaced it and submitted it now - but the 'date uploaded' part didn't change, remained at the original upload date last Jul 12, instead of Sep 16. I know that we'll have to wait for 8+ weeks again for the next review, but I'm just worried that this would be lost in the July files and it'll never get reviewed. Is this normal?

Got an RFE. But NVC documents won't load!
Mpowie replied to JTG87's topic in National Visa Center (Dept of State)
This is my problem now!! Does it just magically resolve on its own? -
Hi guys, I got an RFE last night for a stupid mistake - birth certificate. I already have the correct file, and I've been trying to upload it since last night, but everytime I click on the upload portal (it now says INCOMPLETE vs SUBMITTED), it just always lands on this application error page. Has anyone encountered this? I want to submit it ASAP so the clock can restart as soon as possible. Thank you!!

1 message from NVC in the CEAC inbox: "Please replace this with an acceptable birth certificate from a correct issuing authority. Please use our Document Finder at https://nvc.state.gov/find for acceptable documents guidelines." And I kept trying to detect what was wrong with it for a good 30 minutes - until I saw that the super recent birth certificates had a very slight change in the logo stamp. Back to the line, another 9+ weeks I guess, for such a small, small thing.... Was hoping to make it to Christmas
-
Submitted July 17. Just got ONE RFE for my birth certificate. Apparently my country changed the issuing authority's logo. I'm so angry I want to cry

Submitted July 17. Paranoid about the NVC's decision and racked with anxiety! Expecting to hear something Sep 23-25 given the current timelines

Certificate of no criminal Conviction
Mpowie replied to organejuice789's topic in National Visa Center (Dept of State)
I've had this question as well. I messaged alot of the Hong Kong based VJ members and the response seems to be the same. When you apply at HKFP, they'll issue you a receipt, and that receipt is what you upload at NVC, together with a note explaining HKFP protocol. I've just submitted mine. Since I'm out of Hong Kong for the meantime, I couldn't produce the receipt, and sending the requirements from abroad back to HK is just too much of a hassle. In the required docs, I marked Hong Kong Police Certificate 'document not available' and put a note explaining HKFP protocols, and that I've scheduled an appointment with them (I uploaded the email confirmation of my appointment) to make sure it reaches the US consulate in time for the interview.- 1 reply
